Watch Movement Kit for CARL F. BUCHERER Manero Flyback Chronograph (black dial)

Carl F. Bucherer Manero Flyback Chronograph Complete Movement Assembly (AMT5100 M, Anthracite Dial)

Overview

This is a complete Carl F. Bucherer Manero Flyback Chronograph watch movement kit, built around the AMT5100 M caliber. The AMT5100 M is an automatic-winding column-wheel chronograph with flyback function, based on the Sellita SW500 but finished to Carl F. Bucherer’s specifications by Manufacture AMT SA—a specialized division of Sellita focused on higher-grade and custom movements. The kit includes the fully assembled movement, an anthracite dial with stick and dot indexes, and a set of Dauphine-style hands. The movement is graded Excellent in our Condition Grading Scale below, indicating it has been inspected and confirmed to be in good working order, though professional servicing may be required before installation.

The Manero Flyback Chronograph is part of Carl F. Bucherer’s Manero collection, which combines classic design with high-end mechanical movements. The AMT5100 M caliber is notable for its flyback function, which allows the chronograph to be reset and restarted instantly with a single pusher press—a feature typically found in pilot’s watches and high-end chronographs. This movement assembly is intended for collectors or watchmakers sourcing components for case-up builds or restorations.

Specifications

The movement is the Carl F. Bucherer AMT5100 M, an automatic (self-winding) column-wheel chronograph based on the Sellita SW500. It operates at 28,800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz) and features 29 jewels. The power reserve is 58 hours. Functions include hours, minutes, small seconds at 9 o’clock, date at 6 o’clock, and a flyback chronograph with a bicompax layout: a central stop-seconds hand and a 30-minute counter at 3 o’clock. The chronograph uses a column-wheel mechanism with a symmetrical pusher layout (2 o’clock and 4 o’clock). The movement also includes a stop-seconds (hacking) function for precise time setting.

The dial is finished in anthracite with applied stick and dot indexes. The hour and minute hands are Dauphine-style, matching the classic aesthetic of the Manero collection. The movement is marked Carl F. Bucherer | AMT5100 M | Swiss Made.

Compatibility

This watch movement kit is designed for use in Carl F. Bucherer Manero Flyback Chronograph cases with a 43mm diameter. The AMT5100 M caliber shares the same footprint as the Sellita SW500, but due to Carl F. Bucherer’s custom finishing and module integration, it is not a direct drop-in replacement for generic SW500-based watches. The dial and hands are sized for the Manero case, with the hour markers aligned to the outer minute track. A winding stem is not included; the correct stem for this movement is a tapered 2.90mm x 0.90mm (tip diameter x length), typically part number CFB188-10 or equivalent.

The flyback function requires a case with properly spaced pushers (22mm center-to-center) to ensure smooth operation. The movement height is 7.9mm, which may limit compatibility with ultra-thin cases. The dial has a bicompax subdial arrangement (small seconds at 9 o’clock, 30-minute counter at 3 o’clock).
